9, because all that inventiveness deserves a point, and
13, because I'd like to know what a well sweep is.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[Daniel Widdis]

12 and 16, obscurely

[Steve Graham]

I'll take 13 and 14, but No 6 makes me think that I should have suggested
that it be a slang term for a wicket keeper's cup.

I'll have 9 because rampant cats appeal to me, and 12 just because.

7 for the American Express Travelers Checks, and 9 for chutzpah in a
definition.
